Lose your bottle: young people and alcohol
Abstract
When a problem with underage drinking in the seaside town of Hastings was highlighted by an analysis into public place violent crime, the local community safety partnership ‐ the Safer Hastings Partnership ‐ turned to 175 local young people to ask them directly about their experiences and perceptions of underage drinking and antisocial behaviour. The findings were both enlightening and concerning, but have enabled more effective enforcement activity and have led to local young people themselves using the findings of the consultation to develop educational resources targeted at their peers.
